Dear Friend(s)

Download HERE! the Summary (130 pages, pdf) Report and Documentation of the Conference 'Defence and Security: State of the Art Technology', which took place on Thursday and Friday, May 3-4, 2018, in the 'Ioannis Kapodistrias' Hall of the War Museum. 

The Complete Report containing all presentations and notes, as well as the forty Videos of the presentations will be posted on Youtube and made available to the audience from June 15th, one per day (it will also be posted on the websites of EL.I.S.M.E. and SASI.)

Inside the packed amphitheater, more than 250 people from all walks of life of our active citizens:

Students of the productive Academies of the Hellenic Air Force and Hellenic Armed Forces, Undergraduate and Postgraduate students and Executives of the Air Force and Air Force (active and retired). The conspicuous absence of Students of the Icarus School, the Air Force Permanent Non-Commissioned Officers School and Executives of the Air Force Research and Training Centers - although they were scheduled to come with free accommodation - caused a particular sensation. Presidents and CEOs of Companies, Honorary Heads of all Branches of the ED and SA, University Professors and Deans, PhDs, Researchers/Analysts Engineers and Active Citizens, was an exceptional success and kept the audience's interest undiminished for a two-day period, from 09:00 on Thursday (3/5) until 18:00 on Friday (4/5).

A significant Operational 'Round' Table Panel was set up, discussed and answered pre-determined - well-selected - questions on the importance and significance of technology and research in the country's defense and security as well as its contribution to the economy. The coordination was done by the general coordinator of the Conference, Anastasios Basaras.

A second important Technological 'Round' Table Panel was held, discussed and answered predetermined - well-selected- questions. on the importance and significance of technology, research, education and Logistics in the development of the domestic defense industry as well as its contribution to supporting and strengthening the defense and security of the country. The coordination was done by the second coordinator of the Conference, Theodoros Giannitsopoulos.

The speakers of the conference, High-ranking Executives of the Market and the Academic Community, Doctorate Officers and Engineers, Defense Attachés, Professors, Analysts and Researchers presented, developed, and discussed their topics in an exceptional manner and with excessive simplicity and clarity.
